Oh yes, we do have to find our own ways, to find the light, in deep Midwinter. Being in the NE, our winters are long. Snow is pretty, but ice is not. And when grey days, go on and on and on... It is hard to remain up-beat.

Luckily, I am not as bothered by this, as my husband is. He really misses longer days/evenings. And being able to do things, in the yard, and in his garage work shop. He has heat out there, but when it is too cold, it is a waste. And he can feel he is becoming depressed.

Soooooo... It is my job, to not let this happen!!!!! To watch his mood. Give him little pep talks, when needed. Etc.

And for me, this deep winter time, is a loved time of almost hibernation. Enjoy the coziness of home, spend some time in introspection, read a good book, enjoy watching the snow fall... While in my favorite chair, with a throw over my legs, and something to sip, on my little table. :-)))

It feels so dark at this time of year. I think we don't notice it so much in December with all the other lights. But when they are down we realize. This is indeed beautiful. I love the photo with the red berries.

Light feels such an extra precious things in winter... This Japanese garden is so beautiful. So many different plants, textures, shapes... Wonderful quotes too... the thoughts on Native healing especially. This week we had snow, quite a lot. And it's been very grey for days now. There's a lot of candles being lit these days! Fireplace in the evening adds extra cheer. While I enjoy the coziness this time of year invites, I do have a hard time with strings of grey days, and have to give myself a peep talk frequently, and "find the light"... or try to be the light! :) Happy winter days, Marilyn... ((HUGS))

How nice that you try to find the light during the cold Winter days, Marilyn. Although I love Winter, the sun shone this morning, and it felt so good while sipping on my coffee. Your pictures are pretty at the Japanese Gardens.

About Me

Many things bring great delight to me: tea, gardens, flowers, outdoors, food, and friends that cross my path. These all make my heart sing with small chuckles, giggles, laughter, and tears. It is my desire to seek beauty all around me, have the heart of a wanderer, a storyteller.
